Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A band - light central region of sarcomere.

Explanation:

Sarcomere is the basic structural unit of the skeletal muscles. These sarcomere shows striations ( light and dark bands) when veiw under the microscope.

A band or anisotropic band is the dark region of sarcomere. A band consists of both thick and thin filaments of actin and myosin proteins. The A band has the ability to refract light and appears dark.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Why is it wrong to say that bread is a compound?
tatiyna

Explanation:

Bread cannot be classified as a compound. Compounds are formed when two or more substances are bonded together chemically, however, mixtures are not chemically bonded.

Bread is a mixture of several compounds such as sugars, proteins, lipids and gases along with a culture of organisms or chemical leavEning agaent. Several of these components

Explanation:

Large chains of monomers form biological macromolecules which carry out many essential functions in the body these can include nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. These are organic molecules, meaning they're ringed or long-chain Carbons bonded to the elements oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).

  • Proteins are structural support molecules comprised of long chains of amino acids joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units that are arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and are incorporated into the body’s cells to make up organs muscles signal molecules and an alternative energy source.                                                                 Basic makeup: C, H, O, N, S; polar C, O double bonds and N-H bonding
  • Carbohydrates function to supply energy and support molecules they consist of mainly sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers. They include monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers.                Basic makeup: C, H, O -with many polar OH groups
  • Lipids function as energy storage and chemical messengers, these include fats, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with double bonds and steroids and waxes. However, lipids are comprised of fatty acids and glycerol; they do not contain a fixed set of monomers, and unlike the other biological macromolecules, they are not polymers. The arrangement of hydrophobic heads and hydrophobic fatty acid tails can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.                                                                     Basic makeup: C, H, O; non polar- a triple condensation reaction produces the molecules from a triple hydroxyl (OH) alcohol bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids.

34 POINTS! BRAINLIEST TO THE RIGHT ONE!! PLEASE ANSWER THESE FOUR MCQ'S!!!!! THANK U!!​
AnnyKZ [126]

12)

receptor cell bodies are found in the dorsal ganglia which is F

relay cell bodies are found in the grey matter which is G

effector neuron bodies are found in the grey matter which is G

so the answer is D

13)

J is the dorsal root of the spinal nerve and contains the axons of the sensitive cells

H is the anterior root of the spinal nerve and contains the axons of the motor cells

therefore the answer is C

14)

F is the dorsal ganglion

I is the spinal nerve

hence, the answer is B

15)

first they come through the spinal nerve which is (I), then they go through the dorsal root, which is (J) then the impulses go through the grey matter(G) , they go through the anterior root(H) and finally through I

the answer is A

If a cell has completed meiosis I and the first cytokinesis, and is just beginning meiosis II, which of the following is an appr
tangare [24]

Answer:

The options are missing in the question: They are,

A) It has half the amount of DNA as the cell that began meiosis.

B) It has half the chromosomes but twice the DNA of the originating cell.

C) It has one-fourth the DNA and one-half the chromosomes as the originating cell.

D) It is identical in content to another cell formed from the same meiosis I event.

The answer is A

Explanation:

Prior to undergoing any cell division including meiosis, the cell undergoes a phase called Interphase where it replicates its genetic material (DNA). The genetic material (DNA) content duplicates i.e. × 2 of the original number, during this phase. Each chromosome duplicates to form SISTER CHROMATIDS joined at the centromere.

Meiosis is the cell division that results in daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). It occurs in two distinct stages; Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) separates. Hence, the actual reduction in chromosomal number occurs here, this aslo affects the DNA content, as each divided cell i.e. after cytokinensis, now contains 1/2 of the DNA that started the actual meiotic division.

Here is how it works, each chromosome before DNA replication contains 1 DNA. Let's say the total chromosomes of the diploid organism (2n) is 46, hence, the organism at this stage contains 46 DNA. Each 46 chromosomes replicate to form 92 sister chromatids, which are still regarded as one chromosome each since each sister chromatids is linked at the centromere. Hence, we still have 46 chromosomes but the DNA content increases from 46 to 92, since each sister chromatid now contains one DNA.

Meiosis I occurs and homologous chromosomes separate. Hence each cell now has 23 chromosomes (46 sister chromatids) and 46 DNA i.e. 1/2 of the starting 92.
